A lower current price can make Bentor appealing, but a large discount does not compensate for a poor fit.
Bentor's case is straightforward: it offers a court outsole and reinforcement around the foot, with gel cushioning listed beneath the heel. We would put it on a shortlist when its current price compares well with other padel shoes, without treating the old recommended price as a measure of quality.
Pay attention to the reinforced forefoot during a try-on. If it presses across your toes when you bend forward, move on. A bargain needs to work for your foot from the start. There is no sound reason to rate the cushioning below other brands simply because Drop Shot is less familiar to you.

Retailers identify article DZ281002 as a men's shoe. We would not apply a blanket size-up or size-down rule. Use the retailer's guide, then check toe clearance and whether the heel stays in place. Pay particular attention to pressure across the reinforced front of the shoe.

Yes. Exact-model retailer specifications list a gel capsule beneath the heel. That is a construction detail, not a softness rating; compare how it feels under your foot if you prefer particularly soft cushioning.
It has a clay-style herringbone rubber outsole. If you already like that pattern on your padel court, Bentor is a relevant comparison. If you prefer a multidirectional padel tread, compare a shoe such as HEAD Motion Pro 1.5.
No. A player endorsement does not set a minimum playing level. Choose it if the fit, grip and price suit you. Beginners can use it without needing to match the player associated with the shoe.
